And so it began. Both sides ran full force at each other. The elves were the first to strike. Arrows set, they fired in unison at the onslaught of orcs and Uruk-Hai. The wave in the opposing army fell before they were even within fifty feet of the elves. But the orcs did not take a hit that easily for they had their bows set with their black tipped arrows. Many on the side of the elves fell as well. But as soon as someone on either side fell, five more were there to replace them.

Lilly could see her father about a mile ahead of her fending off an onslaught of orcs that had come upon a fallen elf warrior. He fought them off and the elf was taken to safety away from the battle. Seeing that the elf warrior was safe Lilly's father took his platoon and hit a group of orc goblins full on. They hit them with everything they had, and they fell without any difficulty. Lilly looked sideways to see one of the palace guards taking out two swords and twirling them around before bringing them down mercilessly on an orcs head. As Lilly looked over to her right she saw Legolas fighting off the Uruk-Hai, Kodana. Lilly rushed to his aid for there was another orc approaching Legolas from behind. She jumped on him and drove her elven sword Lelanthia deep into the orcs spiny back. Ripping the Lelanthia out of its back she raced to aid Legolas in his struggle against Kodana. Kodana was twice Legolas' size and easily towered three feet over him. Slicing at orcs that got in her path Lilly cut through to where Legolas and Kodana were struggling. She jumped at Kodana from behind but he, being bigger saw her and easily hit her aside with the blunt side of his sword. Lilly stumbled backwards stunned by the blow of the sword and felt something trickle down her cheek - blood. He may have hit her with the blunt side but it cut her nonetheless. Being distracted Legolas got the advantage and thrust his sword into Kodana' stomach. Roaring with rage Kodana took out his dagger that he had hidden in his bootleg and slashed at Legolas. Being an elf Legolas could easily maneuvered out of the way, but not quick enough, it caught him in the side of the arm. While Legolas was temporarily occupied with the dagger implanted in his arm Kodana leapt on him. Seeing this Lilly staggered to get up and find her sword. Finding it she picked it up and charged at Kodana. This time he was too occupied with Legolas to notice her advance on him. She threw her whole weight into the blow. Lilly's sword found its mark in Kodana's back and all the way through to the other side of his body. Kodana in a final endeavor yanked the dagger out of Legolas' arm and dug it deep into Lilly's chest. In one swift movement Legolas found his sword and whirling it over his head he brought it down full force on Kodana's head. Dropping his sword Legolas rushed over to Lilly's side. "Lilly, Lilly can you hear me" he said in an urgent almost pleading way. "Legolas I was so afraid that I would lose you" Lilly struggled to say. "Shh, don't speak. Save your energy" Legolas said cradling her in his arms. Lilly coughed a few times, and with each time she found it harder and harder to keep her eyes open, and to keep from sliding into darkness. As a final gesture she motioned for Legolas to come closer and she whispered with great effort these words to him. "Well at least I got to fight in my first battle, and it was fun. Then the world went dark.
